Engine Management Systems

We tune with the many of the best tuning systems on the market. Here are the main ones that we personally recomend.

We are one of the few firms who have had any dealings with AEM Systems and whilst we are no expert compared to well seasons USA tuning firms, we have tuned enough of there systems over the years to be able to provide a quality service.

We particularly like the AEM F/IC units with supercharged 4wd vehicles with the flexibility they provide in there tuning and retaining stock ECU’s.

The XEDE is an interceptor style Engine Management System. It generates changes in fueling and ignition timing by changing the factory ECU’s load and crank reference input signals. It has the additional functions of two stage intercooler water spray control or potentially any other on/off or PWM function including injector drive for an additional injector.

The XEDE can generate data logs and importantly can also store two separate programs which can be changed at the flick of a switch while driving – 98 Octane or 91 Octane fuel maps.

The XEDE Processor is a sophisticated tuning tool that gives any dyno programmer control over the engine management system without having to learn the fine nuances of each vehicle’s engine management system. The web based XMap software is available free to custom tune for accurate results.

How the XEDE Works:
The XEDE Processor integrates with an existing (usually factory) Engine Management System. The operation of the XEDE is to modify the signals from the Air flow meter / Map sensor and the Crankshaft position sensor before the factory ECU sees the signals. By changing the values of these signals, the resultant outputs from the ECU will be changed.

Benefits:
The benefits of using an XEDE over other tuning options are:

We are known for tuning reliable and fast vehicles using EcuFlash combined with Evoscan. Many of the daily drivers modified and tuned by us, are making in excess of 400 + Hp and has done so for more than 60 000 miles. Our philosophy of reliable dyno tuning of each project as if it is our own has ensured reliable performance for our customers.

Other than the actual cost of tuning the vehicle on the dyno there are no additional licensing fees for EcuFlash itself, thus making it a cost effective way of high performance engine tuning.

We have been developing our re flash technology utilising the EcuFlash software package. The actual ‘map’ in an ecu is only a hex file that is of little use on its own. EcuFlash allows the hex file to be read out of the ecu, and a ‘definition’ file is then used to distinguish which areas of the hex file contain the relevant tables that the ecu accesses. Modification can then be made to the tables as required before the hex file is written back into the ecu.

The key to effective re flashing is the development of accurate definition files. With the majority of the EcuFlash community being based in the USA, a lot of the readily available definitions are not suitable for the JDM and Australian vehicles. We have spent countless hours of dyno time checking, testing and developing our library of definitions to ensure safe and reliable results for our customers. We pride ourselves on providing performance without compromise, and we have not rushed into the re flash market.

Getting an Open Source tune for your Mitsubishi, Subaru or Toyota has never been easier and more reliable than having it dyno tuned at Racing Performance Works.

Emerald manufacture the aftermarket standalone K6 ECU (Engine Control Unit) with over 17 years of experience in automotive electronics, engine management and calibration as a company.

Founder of Emerald M3D Ltd is Dave Walker, well known in the UK for his many articles and features in various motorsport publications and huge experience in engine management, Dave has now celebrated 50 years in the automotive industry.

Our aim is to provide user-friendly, capable and reliable engine management systems with 1st-class back-up and technical assistance – whilst at the same time not costing the earth.

Emerald engine management systems are capable of handling full 3D mapping of both ignition and injection on most normally aspirated and turbo engines – from classics through to the latest engine designs.

Emerald systems are both straight-forward and logical to use and many of the “big” features found in competitor systems are included as standard in Emerald’s ECU’s.

ECUMaster is a new product range to the Australian market place.

Product and software design, development, testing and implementation is constantly underway resulting in state-of-the-art products that are kept at the forefront of technology in this competitive market. With development headquartered in Poland and active, well-established teams based in the US, UK, Europe, Asia and Australia, customers can expect a high level of service and support

Emtron Australia has created a range of high end engine management systems for a market requiring additional power and flexibility. The product range includes output and input channel capability not commonly found in the after market.

The aim is to provide the latest electronic component architecture and ensure only the best performance. Although the company is in its infancy, it is built on many years of engineering experience at both hardware and user level.

This goal, of course, means that an enormous amount of effort and dedication to research and development needed to be invested in order to create a product line that offers unparalleled I/O capability, user defined flexibility of control tables, and copious amounts of data logging all in an “OEM” quality package that costs much less than the leading competitor’s offerings, which won’t stand up to the types of temperature and vibration abuse our products take on a regular basis.

Offering plug and play for some model vehicles, the KV series includes drive by wire control and other advanced features.

Racing Performance Works is the first firm in WA to take on this new product but we can already see the potential of this system and is future growth.

GReddy’s e-Manage is a cost effective programmable engine management system that allows you to properly tune your factory engine control without having to change the entire factory ECU system to an expensive “stand-alone” unit or the inconvenience of sending it out for a full ECU reprogram.

The e-Manage system is a true universal “piggy-back” type unit that taps into most Japanese factory ECU wiring, by utilizing the vehicle’s existing sensors (or optional upgraded sensors if factory sensors are maxed out).

The GReddy e-manage Ultimate is as close to a stand-alone management system as you can get while maintaining the best features of a “piggy-back” engine management; an economical price, the usage of existing sensors, the ability to easily alter factory settings and not having to tune from scratch.

In addition to standard e-manage airflow-based adjustments, the Ultimate version includes new and upgraded features.

The basic e-Manage Blue unit has been out for many years and is a very powerful unit. This unit does have its limitations and we recommend discussing with us first your vehicle and tuning requirements prior to utilising this unit. RPW utilises full software tuning and is able to unlock all the features of this powerful unit.

The more advanced e-Manage Ultimate is still a popular product today and is one we have used widely under certain applications.

RPW is also a big fan of the Greddy Profec Series of boost controllers. They are simple, consistent and easy to set-up. Compared to many of the after market more complicated units, our experience has been these units match the performance of most other units without the time required in setting them up.

Hondata as the name suggests is a tuning solution tailored specifically for Honda vehicles and generally speaking, there are a number of different solutions for recent Hondas.

This is suitable for more common applications for 2006 and onwards vehicles however it may also be used for models in previous years.

The Hondata system is a system that works with the Factory ECU in place, because as they say there is nothing better than a Honda ECU, to run a Honda motor.

The Hondata system allows us to recalibrate for aftermarket modifications and of course custom tune for performance applications.

If your car is a daily driver and you are looking at calibrating and custom tuning for relatively straightforward moderation then this may very well be your best solution – Even forced induction and upgraded fuel systems can be tailored for, however we recommend coming in and having a chat about your plans prior to making assumptions on the ECU you use if going this far.

The MoTeC brand delivers more than just excellence in engineering and technology, it instils confidence in long term performance and customer service – race proven Over 20 Years

Racepak Data Systems was founded in 1984 to design and build affordable and reliable onboard data acquisition equipment. As Racepak built and refined its early data acquisition systems, the equipment found its way into many forms of motorsports before finally catching the attention of the drag racing community.

Though there had been previous attempts to construct data recorders for Top Fuel and Funny Cars, none had proven reliable. Racepak knew that if they could develop onboard data acquisition that could survive in this hostile environment, that it would survive anywhere. By achieving this goal, the Racepak data recorder was established as the clear choice in data acquisition. The result is that Racepak can now be found on nearly every professional drag racing vehicle competing throughout the world.

Whilst Racepak have a huge range of datalogging products, the main items that we mostly use are the

Racepak IQ3 Dashes

The Racepak IQ3 Dash is a very cost effective dashboard, light-weight and compact this dash can be configured to interface with the Wolf ecu range to display such things as RPM, Engine temp, Boost. This is available as a display dash only, or a logger dash with built in GPS for more track orientated vehicles wanting to check every feature of there racing style.

The IQ3 is compatible with many aftermarket ECU systems with its Canbus network.

Racepak Smartwire Modules – New Technology

The Racepak SmartWire is a fully programmable power distribution module, capable of controlling 30 outputs (on / off switching) and 12 inputs (switch activated) on any type of 12 – 16 VAC systems. Fuses, relays and solenoids are eliminated, instead controlled through solid state switching inside the housing. Current outputs, switching inputs along with a nearly unlimited variety of and/or on-off switching functions are user programmable through the DatalinkII software.

Tuning Dynamics – whether you’re after increased performance or improved economy in your vehicle or fleet, Tuning Dynamics software, developed over the last 20 years, brings you the best the world has to offer in custom ECU remapping and tuning solutions.

We use no piggy back units, we simply specialize in reprogramming your factory ECU.

We use Ktag and Kess hardware for our reading and wiring, the most advanced package on the market.

All tunes are customised for each vehicle, no generic tunes and all are checked on our dyno to ensure that a comparison between stock and the new tune is provided to the customer.

The VCM Suite has certain features that a professional tuner may find more useful. It includes some of the following extra capabilities.

VCM Editors Flash utility allows not just calibration reflashing and automated recovery, but entire VCM/PCM image re flashing. This means that you are free to make any operating system or calibration level modifications and flash those to the VCM/PCM. This has many uses for the advanced enthusiast, serious tuner or engine swap shop, allowing complete control over the VCM/PCM software environment.

The VCM Scanner utility is a fully featured OBDII scanning and diagnostic tool. It allows viewing, charting and logging of diagnostic data in real time via the vehicle OBDII diagnostic data port. It also allows viewing of vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s) and other vehicle information. Built in VCM controls also supported. Command fans, closed loop, gear select, timing, air fuel ratio and more real time!

These components combine to make VCM Suite the most feature rich, powerful and comprehensive VCM/PCM reprogramming and diagnostics package available on the market today. In addition, our attractive make/model/year based licensing structure makes VCM Suite a clear leader in value for money.

We have found of the various packages available for Ford and Holden Vehicles, VCM Suite offers the best support, product knowledge base and growth to keep up to date with newer model vehicles as they are released. We are very excited to offer this product and find that it complements our parallel development of EcuFlash with Mitsubishi / Subaru vehicles.

ViPEC fuel injection, and engine management systems, were developed to fill a gap in the market, for ECUs that were reliable, powerful, easy to tune and having features that worked correctly. ViPEC is willing to listen to what the market wants, and dedicated to giving customers excellent support.
